British ice lolly brand Lickalix has announced a series of new stockists, after hot weather during June and July led to a peak in sales and significant growth in the London-based company’s retail network.
The lollies are now available from Whole Foods Market, Planet Organic and a number of independent retailers with a recommended retail price of £2 each. They are available in Caribbean twist, strawberry and banana smoothie, mango raspberry swirl and oh so berry varieties, with limited edition chocolate-banana-sea salt and green goddess variants on sale at various food festivals and markets during the summer months.
Lickalix will celebrate the new listings by launching an in-store sampling campaign in Whole Foods Market, and the new stockists take the number of outlets in London alone where the brand’s products can be found up to 80.
After undertaking a successful crowdfunding campaign and nationwide expansion earlier in the year, the brand has now gained availability with retailers as far apart as Middlesbrough and Bridport.
Lickalix co-founder Karis Gesua said: “Our lollies are the perfect way to cool down on a sunny day and, with the recent heatwave, our retailers have been doing a roaring trade. We’re passionate about using real fruit and natural, organic ingredients so we’re delighted that customers of Whole Foods Market and Planet Organic can now try Lickalix too. By working with major high street retailers and independent cafés, delis, kiosks and ice cream vans, even more people can now grab a Lickalix lolly and lick, slurp and be merry!”
